Hi, is this same with Amazon RDS?

[@stormit9507]

Hello, yes, I think you can use this for Amazon RDS instances too. If you need assistance with setting it up, please don't hesitate to contact us here: www.stormit.cloud/contact/

How do you add multiple tags, lets say you have a schedule for weekday and weekends?

[@stormit9507]

Hello, Don. I think this will not be easy as you can only add one tag with a specific name to EC2 instances. Unfortunately, I don't have an immediate solution for you. However, if you're interested, you can reach out to us for a consultation at www.stormit.cloud/contact/

hi, can we use aws spot instances as well?

[@stormit9507]

Hi Abhishek Sharma,
thank you for your question. Spot instances are not officially supported by the Scheduler in the current release.

[@AbhishekSharma-vn3jh]

@@stormit9507 thanks for answering can we schedule a spot instance start/stop ?

says ROLLBACK-COMPLETE not CREAT_COMPLETE

[@stormit9507]

Hello and apologies for the delayed response. If there is an issue with the deployment, please check the Events tab in the CloudFormation stack. It should provide you with information about what went wrong. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to identify the specific issue.
